How to Activate Google 2-Step Verification Security Video Tutorial

It's been a wild internet world! If you are a basic user of Google products, or maybe a company, or a network marketer, you'll actually never know how unfortunate you'll be when it comes to the hands of the hackers.

If you are a Google user, like you have Gmail, Blogger, YouTube, AdWords, Adsense or other Google products, you might want to add an extra security to our Google account. And that's what this tutorial is all about.

Mumuso Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard

I am currently trying the Mumuso Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and it seems okay. I am happy to buy this keyboard! The keyboard keys are all it the right position. The connection between my phone and the keyboard, after the first set up, I just open my bluetooth connection, and then click the Umuso bluetooth device on my mobile, then Ican now use my keyboard. I saw some bluetooth keyboard that is foldable (yes they cost more than that of Mumuso), but the keys are kind of small.

I just hope that there would be wireless bluetooth keyboard that are rechargable via USB cable. All the bluetooth wireless keyboard I saw including this Mumuso (I am currently using it now) needs batteries. Mumuso wireless bluetooth keyboard needs two pcs of AAA batteries.

I know this keyboard would be very useful to me when it comes to blogging and on my online shop.

Different Types of Barcode Scanner

There are different types of barcode scanner. There are those handheld, pen type, stationary (usually found mounted on the cashier table in super markets and groceries), fixed-position (usually being use in warehouses, manufacturing factories, etc to manage inventory), and some other barcode scanners like mobile phones, PDA, etc with built-in barcode scanner.

Some would be high-tech looking scanners. But before you buy a barcode scanner, one should first know what items would be scanned. Different uses would require different scanner.

Example, if you have a grocery wherein you would like to track the inventory and sales in less headache, buy a scanner. Your scanner can be the stationary type or the handheld type. If your grocery is not so big like in the malls, you can buy something like the posguys barcode scanner. See picture below.

Conference Calls with No Contrats

Calling your love ones in conference? Having a group meeting or brain-storming with your team mates? Need to talk about a project with your school mates over the phone? How to get a cheap conference call?

There are budget conference call services that would make you worry-free. Having a call conference doesn't need you to tie up with a contract. You shouldn't sign up for a contract for a conference call if you're not sure if you would always have a conference call. Look for services that would just make you pay for what you have used. Pay per minute I should say. No contract, no worries, just pay the minutes you had used the call conferencing service.

Web Online Web Conferencing?

Having a meeting? There are lots of reasons why people would choose an online web conferencing, instead of a face to face meeting. Here are some of the reasons:

• No need to travel and waste hours of time on traffic jams.
• More time is saved. That means more work can be done.
• Meeting schedules would be easier to set, because people involved won't need to leave their office. They can have a meeting even if they're in the coffee shop.
• No need to set a room, or rent a place for a meeting.
• Doesn't need any projector to show the presentation to all.

It would be nice to try a web conferencing tool that is web-based like the megameeting web conferencing software. Anyone with an internet connection can open any internet browser of their choice, open up the web conferencing software site, and then the meeting can start.

Cellphone Signal Booster???

I never thought there's such thing as a home cell booster. I would want one!!! I hate it when clients call me or when I'm calling my clients on my cellphone and we can't understand each other because the signal is really really low on some parts inside the house. And there are actually parts that doesn't have any signal at all.

Maybe I should get a signal booster and install it somewhere inside our house.

Mounting Our PC Monitor On The Wall

I am looking for a way on how to mount our PC monitor to the wall. The PC monitor is thin type so I know I don't need to worry about it falling off from the wall. Mounting electronics is not an easy stuff, at least for me, because electronics like the PC monitor is not cheap that when it falls and crashed, buying another one is not like buying another pancake when your stomach is not yet satisfied. I guess, just like the peerless mounts which have those sturdy security fasteners and all, I would need the best mounting product for my monitor.

The reason why I want the monitor to hang in the wall is to make it farther from the computer user. My son likes to put his face so near in front of the computer.

Me, My Ivan, And The Internet

My world "offline" has no social life... my baby, business, my baby, business, my baby, business... Non-stop almost 20 hours a day!  I got lots of friends (and even my relatives) who doesn't know that I am not a programmer anymore.  I am a mommy and an online seller.  So cool that I can take care of my baby and still earn descent amount of money.

Here's a peek of my online shop called Lucky Cow Shop.

I got lots of task on my online shop that I can't finish because of my baby.  His name is Ivan, a big baby going 3 years old this coming June.  Although he is so precious, little Ivan is a tech savvy.  He loves watching his favorite videos on the media player or online.  He loves playing with Adobe Photoshop and playing computer games!  Yes, you read it right!

So I only have a few hours to use the PC.  And the rest is through computer rentals!  I can only use our own PC during night time at about 12:00 am until I got tired up to 3:00 am or 7:00 am... or until little Ivan wakes up and it's his time to use the PC.

I have a lot of items not yet posted on my online shop. And I got tons of my Ivan's photos and videos that I hadn't edited for uploading and sharing purposes too.  I wanted to boast to the world how cool my son is. Any mommy would like to shout to the world how great her child is, right? So I need more time online.

I might be buying a laptop, maybe a netbook, so I can edit photos and videos while dining out, instead of renting a PC in internet cafe.  I am planning to get an internet broadband too.

What's my plan?  We have an extra room at the house that I can secretly hide and pretend that I'm not at home.  My little Ivan wouldn't know about it and I would be able to finish all the task.  It would be like a personal office.  Or maybe I would call it my secret office =)

The more task I would finish, the more time I can give to my child, the more income on my online shop, and I can have some meet-ups with old friends.  Hello social life!!!

I am planning to get a SMART BRO Unlimited Home Broadband Plan. Right now, they have an amazing promo that I really want to avail.

Signing up for a SMART BRO Unlimited Home Broadband Plan 999 or 1995 has a package of the following super freebies:

• Free All-In-One HP Printer （maybe it's now the right time to have a printer at home)
• FREE Call & Texts with SMART Gold Lite Plan 300 for 6 months subscription (pretty cool!)
• Free 1 month broadband subscription!

This promo is March 4 to June 4, 2011 only.  Better go to a SMART Wireless Center or to the nearest SMART BRO accredited agents and check with this promo for further details and instructions on how to avail this amazing promo (Per DTI-NCR Permit No. 1871, Series of 2011.



Here's a sneak peak of some of the pictures that I have already edited, but failed to upload them. There are other co-related pictures that I have to edit before I upload them in group or batch.

Here's Ivan eating french fries.

Ivan's face after eating ice cream.

Behold! Ivan's Photography!!!

Ivan has a version of holding the star too!  He loves posing in front of the camera.

I hope I can add all the items in my online shop, and upload all the photos and videos of Ivan for all my friends to see.


Here's a bonus!  Ivan took off his pajama and was looking for a pair of pants to wear... at sleeping time!

I hope the sneak peek brightens up your day...

Why should we practice data backup?

We are now in a fast-paced. We are like horses working and later on enjoying the fruits of our work. Most of us forgot some little things that are so important that would save us from work-related disaster... like losing important files and documents. Most of us forgot about data backup.

Everyone should practice data backup. Sometimes we delete unimportant files in our hard disk when the hard disk is full. The PC system tells us that the hard disk would be full and that we would need to delete some data. We are informed to delete files. But on data backup, the system won't ever inform you that. The system doesn't know when should one do data backup. It's on our discrete on when we should do backup maintenance.

People usually thought of doing backup of files when some strange things happen on the PC like usual OS restart or crashes, when the OS is too slow, when there are virus on the hard disk, when the hard disk fails etc... But there would be unfortunate cases when it would be too late to backup important files in the middle of these unpredictable PC disaster.

So do yourself a favor and backup your files.

Top Data Backup Solutions

Why is data backup solutions important?

Sales, accounts and inventory:  One wouldn't know when the PC server would crash.  When all the data are gone, everything should be encoded again.  Or maybe a cut-off date of the transactions would be required to be put to the record again.  But encountering such is really a mess.

Payroll:  If a company has more than 40 employees and the system crashes without any warning, payroll for the employees might be delayed.  And it's not a good idea to delay an employee's salary.

Software providers:  The programs, source codes and images of the company's clients is the most important data in a software provider company.  It's like making the company close down if the whole data is gone, or would make the company start again from the very beginning.
the data is the company's life.

There are a lot more reasons why data backup solutions are so important in one business.

Here are the top data backup solutions to keep all those files safe:

• Symantic Backup Recovery Manager
• Acronis Backup & Recovery
• Memeo Backup
• Hewlett Packard
• Cisco Continuous Data Protection

Trust only the big names in the game when it comes to safe-keeping and protecting your data.
